A multi-layered drama that was supremely well executed.
A masterpiece of assured, high calibre television.

It was innovative, inspirational and extraordinary.
A performance that stays with the viewer for a long time.
But you also wrote the whole damn thing and it feels like the work of really funny friends.
And its an education in acceptance, kindness, loyalty, and the importance of Indian takeaways.
TV is such an amazing filler of our time.
Even the least watched TV programmes probably entertain more people than have ever watched the plays of Harold Pinter.
Were a mass media and most of you all here tonight do a massively good job.
Im talking about Claudia Winkleman.
We all know Claudia, or think we know her.
But Claudias journey didnt start there.
She didnt just land on our screens like some sort of magical TV fairy.
She worked her way up, quietly crafting a career that is as varied as it is impressive.
Shes hosted Sport Relief, Comic Relief, even The Great British Sewing Bee.
Over the last 30 years weve all come to rely on her unique voice and perspective.
Which is extraordinary considering she is still only 27 years old.
Through it all, theres been a consistency to Claudias presence.
She doesnt just do television.
She brings something to it.
And then, of course, theres that fringe.
These individuals often face extraordinary danger reporting on events as they unfold.
